Children tend to grow up with wild imaginations, dreaming of becoming a doctor, professional athlete or a wealthy entrepreneur. However, as time ticks away, ambition is often replaced by more realistic goals. Sure, dreams still exist in your mind, but negativity, pessimism and tough luck cause dreams to fade away from your memory.
A few years ago, I was passionate about completing my first novel. Before I typed a word, vivid ideas rushed into my head, inspiring my will to complete this May 15th, a deadline for a major contest in Hollywood. Unfortunately, a long cold spring, filled with racing to see all 3 of my children play sports has drained my desire to do anything. With May in the rear view mirror, a spark for finishing this book needs to be rekindled before my thoughts vanish.
Sometimes, the Bible seems too good to be true, as readers silently murmur, “yeah right?” Nonetheless, a weeping prophet writes of a special day in Jeremiah 29:11. When the day of doubt sets, there is hope of prosperity. If you’ve lost the will to carry on, don’t quit yet. Cling to the promise of Galatians 6:9-10 so that like Walt Disney once said, “one day your dreams will come true!”
